Baltimore Cyber Range and Cyberbit Open New Cybersecurity Training and Simulation Center

BALTIMORE, August 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Baltimore Cyber Range LLC. and Cyberbit Ltd [https://www.cyberbit.com ]., the world's
leading provider of cybersecurity training and simulation platforms, today announced the
opening of the new Baltimore Cyber Range [http://baltimorecyberrange.com ] (BCR)
cybersecurity training and simulation center in Baltimore, MD. Powered by the Cyberbit
Range platform [https://www.cyberbit.com/solutions/cyber-range ], this hands-on
cybersecurity training center will provide simulation training for cybersecurity
professionals in protecting national assets and infrastructure against cyberattacks. The
opening comes 10 months after the project was announced during Maryland Governor Larry
Hogan's trade mission to Israel in September 2016.

"I am very pleased to celebrate the opening of Baltimore Cyber Range. With our skilled
workforce, world-class academic community, and proximity to the federal government,
Maryland has truly become the cyber capital of the world," said Governor Hogan. "This
state-of-art center will help ensure that even more Marylanders are fully trained and
prepared to meet the demands of 21st century jobs."

Labor statistics highlight a critical shortage of capable IT and cybersecurity
professionals. Data shows that more than 200,000 U.S. cybersecurity jobs are currently
unfilled and the shortage is projected to grow to more than 1.5 million unfilled positions
by 2019. This shortage presents a workforce issue for Maryland employers and
Governments creating employment opportunities for Maryland residents possessing
appropriate cybersecurity skills.

The BCR represents a significant advancement in cyber training technology, a
state-of-the-art cybersecurity training center. Leveraging the Cyberbit Range platform,
the BCR facility allows cybersecurity practitioners the opportunity to experience the
latest real-world cyber threats in a controlled and sequestered environment to improve
their hands-on skills. The range, which can simulate large-scale virtual networks and
attacks based on real-world incidents, can also pinpoint system vulnerabilities and help
users develop countermeasures and improved protocols for dealing with cyber-attacks on
critical network systems. As a result, cybersecurity practitioners benefit from receiving
real-time training for threat detection, and the response process, enabling them to
dramatically improve the performance of all security and SOC teams. Individuals will also
benefit from the opportunity to accelerate their security certifications.

"Working with Cyberbit and Governor Hogan's administration to bring this new cyber
training technology to Maryland has been an unbelievable opportunity," said Michael Doyle,
President of Baltimore Cyber Range. "The range has demonstrated the potential to
dramatically improve the skills and experience of those working to protect our national IT
infrastructure. It also represents a key element of our ongoing efforts to provide the
Maryland workforce the skills and knowledge required to address the skilled cybersecurity
workforce shortage."

"We congratulate the Baltimore Cyber Range and the State of Maryland for opening the
new training and simulation facility today," said Adi Dar, CEO of Cyberbit. "We see a
rapidly-growing need for hands-on cybersecurity training in private and public-sector
organizations worldwide, and are excited to see the Baltimore Range pioneering this
activity in Maryland."
